He was found dead in a car on Newton Road, between Newton village and Newton Manor Lane, at approximately 11.40am and a post-mortem examination shows that Jordan, from Rugby, died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.

Four people have been arrested in connection with the investigation so far with two men in their 30s released on police bail and a 19-year-old Rugby man still in police custody.

A woman who was arrested has been released with no further action.

Warwickshire Police have also confirmed they have found the car in which the shooter is believed to have fled the scene.

The silver Vauxhall Insignia was found in the Hillmorton area of Rugby and police were notified just after 7pm last night.

Superintendent Adrian McGee said: “A huge thank you to everyone who took note of our appeal, passed the word around, retweeted or shared our posts on social media.

“This only goes to show the value and importance the public play in assisting police with these large and complex enquiries.

“The vehicle will now be forensically examined and we hope will provide another piece in the jigsaw towards understanding exactly how Jordan Banton was killed.”

Anyone with any information can call police on 101, quoting incident number 155 of the July 25, or alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
